Read full description of the books:

The city of D is in trouble. The forces of 'good' want to keep the people down, by using an iron fist in a velvet glove - but they're going to draw back an iron stump if Kannon has anything to say about it. The world needs an antihero. Here he is in demonic armor, joined by an unorthodox wizard, an alchemist trying to break the glass ceiling, and the "Last of the red-hot Archliches" as they hack-and-slash their way through an irreverent postmodern bloodbath, dragged kicking and screaming from behind a GM's screen in your mom's basement.
